Is anyone going after the Poke lid stamps noticing random Zapdos raids? I was collecting this stamp and a random raid started and I got a background on Zapdos. Then I went down to the stamp site and collected it and got a shiny BG Pikachu. All in all a nice hall considering earlier in the day I got Shiny Moltres in a trade. Do you think these things are randomly spawning because of Go Fest and did anyone else notice any of this?

I did about 100 eggs and hatched two Shinys. I was really hoping for the Evee but I think I got lucky even just getting two after seeing others struggle so much more. How did you guys do hatching Shinys? Anyone get the Shiny hat Pikachu from the 42m research? Are you going to evolve these or hang on to them?

Managed to get the Hundo on my second successful attempt, but this is a difficult one folks.

First off it’s very hard to remote this raid because people will drop you if they don’t see you there. This raid requires coordination so they don’t want randoms so if you see people dropping with 2 seconds left that’s why.

Do not use your charged attacks, he will wipe everyone faster, use your quick attack to load your max attacks faster.

If you CAN coordinate make you everyone goes in with their tanks and switches to the attacker before the max attack phase. Make sure everyone has a decent attacker I had a Gigamax Charizard and was with 3 other same level attackers and we all died but one of us who finished the Raid and we all went nuts!

Having a healer is nice so don’t take it personally if people keep dropping you. Anyone else have any other tips?

Man this guy was tough. Thankfully I had a great team of people and we all had each others back. We all got knocked out and cheered for the last person who finished the Raid and we all went nuts. Good luck to you all cuz even finding a team that could get this done was tough!

Edit: Make sure to avoid using charged attacks, use quick attacks to load your meter. Always lead with your tank defender, make sure to swap to your main attack pokemon
Before you dynamax

Deino Community Day here in Australia! I went absolute insane getting over 3 million XP. Which of these should I invest in? I tried so hard to find a Shundo with a BG but could only find a single Hundo with background and a shiny w/ background. Was anyone else able to get that Shundo BG Deino?

Looking for Shiny Legendary, namely Rayquaza/Kyogre/Groudon/Mewto/

Buzzwole. I know even 20 isn’t that much but as you can see I’ve been spoiled. Did you guys see better shiny rates with these pokemon as well? I hear people are having a hard time with Pheramosa and Xerkitree yet I got a shiny on my second raid for both 😳

I know each raid is a 1/20 chance and doing 20 raids doesn’t mean that you will get a shiny but this is probably the most raids I’ve ever had to do to get a shiny with these odds. Anyone else fairing better?

How did we do Valor? I got Shiny Xurkitree on my 2nd attempt but it took 20 eggs to get a single event Shiny event Pokemon. Shadow Shiny Cresselia took a total of 6. Anyone do any better? Glalie Shiny on my first raid! I also ran into this costumed Oshawott on the road. Anyone else run into him?

Lechonk Community Day, how did we all do? The Shiny rate for me was insane I saw multiple shinys on every block, also if you put a incense on a pokestop or gym it will increase your chance of a Background Lechonk, I did it and got a ton. How did you guys do?

Anyone looking for some costumed pikachu lmk if you are interested

I feel pretty proud about doing 23 raids but this is the first pokemon I’ve ever had to do more than 10 raids for a shiny. I guess trying that hard is something to brag about but are you guys having better luck getting the shiny on this one? Does buying the event give you better odds or is anyone else struggling with this one?

I know these guys can’t run, but I’ve seen a handful of these birds ever, and only caught a Galarian Articuno. This took more than 5 minutes and 27 Ultra Balls, most of which were GREAT, and several were EXCELLENT, because this was my first shiny Galarian Zapdos I got kinda nervous despite knowing there was no way I would run through hundreds of balls with no catch, horrible IV’s but just glad I got it in my dex. Share your shiny Galarian Zapdos!

I got a shiny on my 6th raid, and Shiny Meltan was the 2nd one to populate out of the Mystery Box, how did you guys do?
